Canopy pergolas made in the UK
All our timber canopy pergolas are designed and custom-built to your requirements in our workshop here in Hampshire for installation across Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey.
We understand how temperamental the British weather can be, so we created our canopy pergolas to offer respite from the rain (as well as the sun), allowing you to enjoy your hot tub, pool, outdoor kitchen or entertainment area – whatever the weather!
Mix and match frames and pergola shades
Step One
Explore pergola frame options with the tabs below...
We offer timber pergola frames in softwoods such as treated Pine or Cedar and hardwood such as Oak or Iroko. All timber is sustainably sourced to minimise the impact on the environment, while offering a natural look which compliments period homes and cottage gardens.
The frame can be supplied unpainted for a natural finish that will weather and grey over time or hand-painted in our workshop prior to installation in a range of contemporary coloured wood stains. We can also use other external paints or wood types on request.The main elements of our pergola are 150mm square posts, together with beams up to 200mm in depth with the correct durability and use class to provide a strong and stable frame that can span a large area.
If you’re looking for a modern pergola to fit with a contemporary property, we can offer an aluminium frame pergola with retractable canopy. We are an approved partner for the complete SELT range including aluminium pergolas, side shades and awnings.
With over 35 years of design and manufacturing experience, we believe their solutions fully compliment our waterproof fabric shades. They benefit from:
- Extruded aluminium construction with steel elements
- Water drainage system integrated with the construction
- Sun and waterproof system
- Construction and roofing painted in any RAL colour (optional)
- Roofing made from rotating slats
- Free-standing and wall-mounted version
- Optional LED lighting on perimeter of pergola or light points in blades

Consider shade options for canopy pergolas with the tabs below...
The main benefit of having a pergola with retractable canopy is that when the sun is out, you can pull back the whole pergola shade and enjoy it.
The design of our completely waterproof pergola canopy is unique and bespoke to individual sizes and your requirements. It is manufactured from aluminium and anodised to protect it from the elements with other materials chosen for life outdoors. We currently provide the retractable pergola canopy either as manual or rope driven, in a choice of fabric colours together with a modern pergola frame. Common to all shades is a single track that the pergola shade beams operate along. This always ensures smooth operation without any binding and can be stopped at any desired position, from fully open to fully closed. This single track carries the shade and its beam and provides sufficient fall for the rain to be diverted freely to any chosen side of the pergola. We use a marine-grade coated acrylic canvas as our shade material; it is designed specifically for outdoor conditions and is perfect for use in our inclement weather. A special coating on the surface creates a barrier against the any growth of mould and mildew and reinforces the fabric’s water-repellent properties. A polyurethane coating adds a barrier layer to the underside of the acrylic canvas, increasing its water column rating to 1000mm plus, giving a waterproof rating.Enhance your outdoor space
